Collection Planning Solutions »
Maximize the quantity and value of imagery collected by your imaging satellites by integrating Orbit Logic's Collection Planning System (CPS) into your satellite ground control system. CPS couples high fidelity spacecraft modeling with multiple advanced scheduling algorithms and a scalable architecture to automatically generate optimized collection plans for one or more satellites. CPS automation features reduce the manpower and timelines needed to perform mission planning and collection planning while at the same time increasing the return from on-orbit assets. CPS is used operationally today by both DigitalGlobe and GeoEye to plan operations and collections for the world's most advanced commercial imaging satellites (QuickBird-2, OrbView-3, WorldView-1, and GeoEye-1).
STK / Scheduler »
The STK/Scheduler™ software product from Orbit Logic is the most widely-applied, flight-proven COTS scheduling software in the space industry today. STK/Scheduler™ provides flexible resource modeling, configurable constraint implementation, and task definition for any type of space system scheduling challenge. Complex satellite system scheduling problems can be defined within a matter of minutes and solved in a matter of seconds using this software. STK/Scheduler™ is tightly integrated with AGI's Satellite Tool Kit (STK); if it can be computed by STK it can be applied as a scheduling constraint in STK/Scheduler™. STK/Scheduler™ can also generate 3D animations of schedule solutions within STK's visualization environment, providing unparalleled situational awareness to planners and operators.
SATURN »
SATURN™, named after the Roman god of time, is an advanced planning and scheduling application that provides optimized task scheduling and resource allocation for a virtually unlimited variety of applications and industries. SATURN allows operators, designers and engineers to model their systems and perform operational scheduling and analysis - right out of the box.
Orbit Logic created SATURN™ based on its industry-leading planning and scheduling software for space systems, STK/Scheduler. Users can define tasks and related resource requirements, request schedule solutions, and analyze the results through a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) or via the Application Program Interface (API). SATURN makes space system scheduling technology available to solve complex Earth-bound system scheduling challenges.
SSR Manager »
Orbit Logic's SSR Manager™ automatically tracks and predicts the state of an onboard recorder and plans the downlink of image and telemetry files from the recorder based on the latest ground station contact schedule, confirmed activity plans and downlink confirmation status messages from the command system. No operator action is required since the SSR Manager performs all downlink planning and state tracking automatically.
The SSR Manager™ is used today to manage the onboard recorders and plan all downlinks for QuickBird-2 and WorldView-1, and will be used on the GeoEye-1 mission planned for launch in 2008. All current U.S. commercial imaging satellites use Orbit Logic software for recorder management and downlink planning. SSR Manager™ can be configured to support any file based or linear/circular buffer type recorder for any satellite.
UAV Planner »
UAV Planner™ is a new advanced UAV mission planning software that provides optimized task scheduling and resource allocation for all types of unmanned aerial vehicles. UAV Planner™ will automatically plan the flight path and collection schedule for an aircraft sortie within aircraft capabilities and will maximize the value of collected imagery. UAV Planner™ can be used for all types of UAV applications such as: Military, Homeland Security, Emergency Services (Fire, Police), Land Resource Management, Agricultural and much more. Orbit Logic's UAV Planner™ is based on our proven satellite Collection Planning Software used in all U.S. commercial satellites today. The major features of UAV Planner™ include:
